throughout the whole of Zambia. This has increased a sense of democracy, and voice of citizens, where individuals can communicate, post, share, and tag other
Zambians in real time. Even "Old Media," such as the radio and television stations have adopted utilizing social media in order to enhance participation of the public, as well as stay competitive with other news media outlets throughout the country. This newly adopted social media phenomenon has mainly been targeted at the younger, middle class, Zambian population, but has also enhanced the elderly, and poorer communities, capabilities to participate as well. With the dramatic uptick in the available access to cellphones and internet connection, a little less than half of the Zambian population has access to cellphone lines. With this greater increase in accessibility to the internet and social media, listeners are able to be better informed about special events, news, and even politics within the country of Zambia. Although there is still a significant amount of the population that still does not have access to the internet, this potentially opens up the doors for greater participation of the citizenry that does have access, as well as helps fuel the fire for the need to have greater accessibility to the internet, and cellphones use.

was passed on 23 November 2020. Its mission consisted of five goals and objectives in order to enhance the freedom of the press which were; the fostering of a regulatory system to bolster press freedom, as well as diversity within the media sector; increasing the private ownership of media outlets and creating a space that levels the playing field to enhance equality, transparency, and accountability within the market; utilizing media platforms to ensure an avenue for citizens to engage in democratic discourse; increasing entrepreneurship and professionalism within the media realm; and lastly, investing in diverse economic sectors to facilitate the development of important media infrastructure needed to support the rapidly changing media market. The hope is that Zambia can move away from the restrictive nature of the media and foster its abilities in order to produce a media sector that can be a stable sector of the economy, but also as a pillar to enhance democracy and accountability within the state of Zambia. There is also hope through the point of view of journalists as well, especially due to the ever increasing nature of violence threats and acts against journalists by the state, political parities and their followers.

speculation from government officials around the medias increased liberalization and the consequences that can come because of it. The trust between the state and journalists is, and was, tenuous. Due to this increased speculation it has ultimately led to the undermining of mass support for the freedom of the press, and the implementation of a regulator body, which could enhance accountability. Instead the state had decided to implement multiple penal codes in an effort to tighten liberalization on the media throughout Zambia. For example, slander, and especially slander against the active
President, as well as seditious publications that would have the possibility of inciting uprisings, protests, or riots. With these type of policies and penal codes being adopted by the Zambian government professional journalists are facing multiple barriers to producing real constructive news. Opposition parties propaganda, messaging, and organizational capacities are, thus, being curtailed, as well as the capacity to facility growth in knowledge by increasing access to the internet and telecommunication systems.

early 2010s there was a shift from analogue television broadcasting to digital television. Considering the expensive nature of switching to digital programming, the
Zambian government sought out the help of foreign investment. The investment towards the shift was led both by the Zambian government and a leading Chinese media conglomerate, StarTimes, helped provide the digital signals. StarTimes owns about 60 percent of the media signaling with the government-owned broadcasting service the Zambian National Broadcasting Corporation (ZNBC) owning the other 40 percent. Through the shift to digital programming, there has been an increase in the number of channels now available to the Zambian public that was not before. There is possible concern, however, that the prospect of new channels has not been used to promote local programs but instead has served to give a platform for Chinese media content.

Facebook to get live updates about elections and candidates post-election as well. However, in the recent 2021 election, there was controversy over what was considered to be a government shutdown of social media platforms on election day. Applications like WhatsApp, Twitter, and Facebook were not reachable and it called into question the relationship between the media and the government. However, as information continues to be made readily available to citizens through social media, questions have been raised about how much social media can really be limited.

This can be seen through some podcasts that emphasize the importance of culture and community building. There are even some podcasts in Zambia which are meant to update members of the
Zambian diaspora on Zambian culture and daily life. There is one in particular which is called the ZambiaBlogTalkRadio. Podcasts in Zambia are mainly listened to through platforms like Youtube, Player.fm, and Spotify. Although podcasting is not widely accessible yet, it is estimated that demand for content presented in podcast format will grow in popularity.

Constitutional Review Commission. The Mung'omba constitution extensively liberalized the media realm by declaring to protect the freedom of the press within the private and public sphere, as well as within the online realm with hardly any regulations attached. It had denied the state, or anyone els, the ability to harass, penalize, censor, or interfere with any broadcasting company on the basis of an opinion, view, or material that was being published throughout Zambia.
